I missed the Heddington and Stockley Steam Rally this year. I do normally go, the tractor pulling is .great. Do you know who showed the combine behind the County? Never seen a larger combine like that there.

Well, as theres not much going on at the moment and i though this could do with an update i took some pictures of some of the machinery that we have about the place.

First we have the Major topper and the Vicon Fertiliser spreader

Well its just typical that, as I said there was not much going on a the moment, my dad and uncle decide to clean out the covered yards today. Didnt see it going on but I saw the result:

Nice photos Tommy. I have to say I have a little liking for that 6600, looks very original  8)

Cheers Tris. Yeah, I think most of its original but with all these slurry regulations coming in, our handling system may be changing. If so, It wont be used much and there is talk of giving it a bit of a make over.
